Catherine Booth quotes about
giving way conquer
Do not give way to lowness while you are young. Rise up on the strength of God and resolve to conquer.
people ministry may
God forbid that I should ever teach any adaptation of the Gospel. But I contend that we may serve it up in any sort of dish that will induce the people to partake of it
christian religion church
And we find from Church history that the primitive Christians thus understood it; for that women did actually speak and preach amongst them we have indisputable proof.
law forever christ
If Christ cannot supersede the Law, then I am lost, and lost forever.
destiny earth made
We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass. Oh, let us be true to our exalted destiny.
believe gods-will dont-believe
I don't believe in any religion apart from doing the will of God.
law doe restraining
What the law tried to do by a restraining power from without, the gospel does by an inspiring power from within.
animal men vegetables
It is a great delusion to suppose that flesh-meat of any kind is essential to health. Considerably more than three parts of the work in the world is done by men who never taste anything but vegetable, farinaceous food, and that of the simplest kind. There are more strength-producing properties in wholemeal flour, peas, beans, lentils, oatmeal, roots, and other vegetables of the same class, than there are beef or mutton, poultry or fish, or animal food of any description whatever.
real expectations inseparable
Faith is inseparable from expectations. Where there is real faith, there is always expectation.
people principles hearing
Here is the principle - adapt your measures to the necessity of the people to whom you minister. You are to take the Gospel to them in such modes and circumstances as will gain for it from them a hearing.
improving disturbing
There is no improving the future without disturbing the present.
running men soul
Cast off all bonds of prejudice and custom, and let the love of Christ, which is in you, have free course to run out in all conceivable schemes and methods of labour for the souls of men.
heart sacrifice hands
Whatever the particular call is, the particular sacrifice God asks you to make, the particular cross He wishes you to embrace, whatever the particular path He wants you to tread, will you rise up, and say in your heart, "Yes, Lord, I accept it; I submit, I yield, I pledge myself to walk in that path, and to follow that Voice, and to trust Thee with the consequences"? Oh! but you say, "I don't know what He will want next." No, we none of us know that, but we know we shall be safe in His hands.
song sweet prayer
Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that. We may sing songs about the sweet by and by, preach sermons and say prayers until doomsday, and he will never concern himself about us, if we don't wake anybody up. But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. This is our work - to wake people up.
